Director General of Police (CID) D V Guruprasad is looking to Facebook for help in nailing Swami Nithyananda, kicking up a flurry of online activity in the process
Swami Nithyananda
After Nithyananda’s release on bail, DGP posted the following on the social networking site: “Swami Nithyananda got bail. In his complaint Shri Lenin accused the swami of rape, unnatural sex, criminal intimidation and hurting religious sentiments.
Despite our best efforts, not a single ‘victim’ has come to us stating that the swamiji had unnatural sex with him/her or raped her. We got some emails from persons living abroad but they have not provided any evidence”.
He also wrote, “Why can’t you people motivate the ‘victims’ of swamiji to come out and give statements to us? So long as they keep quiet, what can the investigation do? The women in the tapes should depose that they were victimised. So far, this has not happened.” He also said that the probe into irregularities in funds was on.
The DGP’s rather innovative methods has had comments coming thick and fast on Facebook, some filled with contempt, some sympathetic.
Swami or minister?
Harsha Raju wrote that the Swami had gone on record to say that he was neither a man nor a swami. “The CID has no evidence against him, it seems. What is a video tape, then? If he was not guilty, why was he hiding then? I guess this is India. Same will be the case with Halappa (former BJP minister) — he will also come out on bail as no evidence will be found against him also. And people who call themseleves his devotees will be happy — wow! Time to become a swami or a minister...”
Paisa bolta hai
Vishal Diggewadi was contemptous about a corrupt system. “Paisa bolta hai India me, paisa feko tamasha dhekho, Everything happens for money. Pay millions in India and do anything, you will get bail. Or else have links with big ministers... hmmm... I agree ...India is great... someone said if you don’t belive in God, come to India... only God can run this country.”
However, the DGP’s post did find some sympathetic Facebookers. Radhe Shyam said the bail was not unexpected. “It was question of when rather than whether. No wonder, public opinion has softened its stand on the swamiji’s deeds. And if some sensational news surfaces, this swami will go free. Yes, the police are the victims of low conviction rates and all their efforts [will go in vain] with such judgments. But still, the police will have to work within the system.”
Writing in a similar vein, Anita Mendonca Mathias said, “Let us work towards forming a better and less corrupt system.”
The DGP also found a staunch supporter in Anoop S N who wrote, “This is happening because of us... not because of the money... not because of the police... not because of the system. We have developed this culture! We have no b***ls to fight for justice and we blame the system for everything. And so-called society, they will screw the lady who comes forward against the swami :( . And they might even worship the swami again.”
Anoop backs Guruprasad to the hilt, saying, “Don’t give up, sir... there is always hope... all this crap will go away when a generation awakes!” And then comes a word of advice for the top cop: “DGP CID, sir, pinpointing the issue will not work... you should try and restore faith in the police... only then will people desist from writing emails from a fake account. Facebook is a good step but caters to a small set of people. Only criminals should be scared of the police, not other people!”
And then, surprise, surprise, Shweta Srinivas rooted for the swami: “You can never believe in demigods... afterall they are also human... so no harm in them acting as one.”
Guruprasad, for his part, said he had created the Facebook account to be “people-friendly”.
“Whenever possible, I try to solve problems. The idea of this site is to make people aware of what we are doing at the CID and to take their help in solving the cases we are investigating”.

'Smitten' Ranjitha exposed sex swami
| No wedding bells for swami: The swami (bottom right) is learnt to have turned down Ranjitha's (above) offer to renounce sanyas and marry her because he didn't want to give up property worth several hundred crores. According to sources, Ranjitha turned vindictive after that and hatched a plot to expose him with his personal secretary Lenin Karuppan. File Pic |
Ranjitha, who is three years elder to Nityananda (32), was married to an army officer with two children, when she was introduced to him three years back by veteran star K R Vijaya's niece Sudha, a full-time devotee.
"She was not a regular visitor in the beginning," said the source. "The swami's charm gradually made her fall for him and she even decided to shift base from Chennai to Bangalore." Ranjitha filed for divorce some time ago and the matter is pending in the court.
After getting intimate with the swami, she is understood to have asked him to marry her and even got a positive response.
Ashram sources say she could have convinced him by giving the instance of Vidyabhushan of Kukke Subramanya Matt, who renounced his sanyas to marry a medical student.
Lenin Karuppan, a close aide to the swamy, who owned up his role in taping the sexual acts, was also close to Ranjitha and used to call her 'anni' (sister-in-law) occasionally. Although Nityananda assured Ranjitha that he would marry her, he was worried about the property worth several hundred crore rupees that he would have to give up along with his sanyas.
Eventually, the swami not only turned down her proposal but also made things worse by seeing other women. A possessive Ranjitha pleaded with him several times and could have turned vindictive when her pleas fell on
deaf ears.
"I think Karuppan and Ranjitha hatched the plan together," said the source. "I recall that they spoke quite casually to each other since a long time."
Karuppan is also understood to have blackmailed the swami just a month ago but Nityananda was not in a position to oblige.
"Please don't force me to comment," said Swamy Sevanda, personal secretary to Nityananda. "I know both Karuppan and Ranjitha and also know that they are not honest," he said. There is also an unconfirmed report of Ranjitha attempting suicide on Saturday. She was learnt to be in Kerala yesterday.
'I'll come clean'
Meanwhile, Nityananda has uploaded his video statement on his ashram website from an undisclosed location. The statement says that the controversy is a conspiracy hatched against him and he would soon come out clean.

Nityananda Ranjitha sexual act videographed by former disciple, Lenin Karuppan - all details
Karuppan admitted that he was Nityananda's faithful devotee since 2004 and alleged that Nityananda used to compare himself to Lord Krishna and his devotees(women) as gopis. He then used to take liberties, which involved acts of physical initmacy.
Karuppan said that last month when Nityananda had come to a function in Tamil Nadu he had threatned Karuppan to deposit the sextapes with him or face severe consequences. Fearing for his life, Karuppan fled their company.

Swamiji's sexcapades an embarrassment to Modi
Buzz up!
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader has shared the stage with the spiritual leader on various occasions and there have been many incidents when the Chief Minister has even showered the man with praises.
Modi also accepted a donation from Nithyananda's organisation for the state's Kanya Kelavani programme, a Times of India report points out.
News Stories on Swami Nithyananda
The Swamiji has visited the state once in Sep 2009 and once recently in Jan 2010.
During a book release function organised by Nithyananda Dhyanpeetam on Sep 10, the Chief Minister hailed the swami for his commitment to the traditions of Adi Shankaracharya and the principles of advaita, the report said.
Swamiji's sexcapades an embarrassment to Modi
Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd chairman N V Patel, state parliamentary secretary Yogesh Patel and Vadodara MP as well as mayor Balkrishna Shukla were also present at the event.
Now, that the sex scandal involving a video showing the Swamiji in compromising position with Tamil actress Ranjitha has emerged sullying the man's image, these leaders are trying hard to distance themselves from Nityananda.
"We always respect saints. But, this does not mean that we endorse whatever they do. It would be wrong to affiliate us with them. Too much controversy is being raked up around the issue unnecessarily," NV Patel told the newspaper while Yogesh Patel out-rightly claimed that he did not even know Nithyananda or his organisation.

டிசம்பரில் எடுக்கப்பட்ட நித்யானந்தா-ரஞ்சிதா வீடியோ
சென்னை: நித்யானந்தா சாமியார்-ரஞ்சிதா லீலைகளை படம் பிடித்தவர் அவரது சீடராக இருந்த லெனின் கருப்பன் என்ற நித்யதர்மானந்தா தான் என்பது உறுதியாகியுள்ளது.
இந்த வீடியோவை கடந்த டிசம்பர் மாதம் எடுத்ததாக போலீசாரிடம் அவர் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
இன்று சென்னை காவல்துறை ஆணையர் ராஜேந்திரனை சந்தித்த லெனின், சாமியாரின் உல்லாசங்கள் அடங்கிய சிடிக்களை அவர் கொடுத்தார். மேலும் சாமியாரால் ஏராளமான பெண்கள் சீரழிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளதாகவும் அது குறித்த பல அந்தரங்கத் தகவல்களையும் அவர் கூறியுள்ளார்.
அவர் கூறுகையில், 2006ம் ஆண்டு முதல் பெங்களூர் நித்யானந்தர் ஆசிரமத்தில் தங்கி சேவை செய்து வந்தேன். ஆசிரமத்திற்கு வரும் அப்பாவி பெண்களை தான் கிருஷ்ணர் அவதாரம் என்று கூறிக் கொண்டும், அவர்களை கோபியர் என்று கூறிக் கொண்டும் நித்யானந்தா கட்டிப்பிடிப்பார்.
நடிகை ரஞ்சிதாவிடம் அவர் அடிக்கடி உல்லாசமாக இருப்பதை பார்த்தேன். அப்போது தான் நான் உள்பட எல்லா பக்தர்களும் ஏமாற்றப்பட்டதை உணர்ந்தேன்.
லட்சக்கணக்கான மக்களை ஏமாற்றும் நித்யானந்தாவின் செயலை தடுக்க வேண்டும் என்ற எண்ணத்துடன் கடந்த டிசம்பர் மாதம் ஒரு நாள் ரஞ்சிதாவிடம் உல்லாசமாக இருப்பதை படம் எடுத்தேன்.
இது எப்படியோ நித்யானந்தாவுக்குத் தெரிந்துவிட்டது. சேலம், சீரகப்பாடியில் புது ஆசிரமம் திறப்பு விழாவிற்கு வந்தபோது என்னை அவருடைய வேனுக்குள் அழைத்து, நீ ஆசிரமத்தில் படம் ஏதாவது எடுத்தாயா? என்று கேட்டு மிரட்டினார். உன்னை கொலை செய்து விடுவேன் என்று அவரும் அவருடன் இருந்த சீடர்களும் மிரட்டினர்.
அப்போது அவர்களிடமிருந்து சமயோஜிதமாக தப்பிவிட்டேன். எனக்கு தொடர்ந்து கொலை மிரட்டல் வந்து கொண்டுள்ளது என்று கூறியுள்ளார்.
இதையடுத்து லெனினுக்கு போலீ்ஸ் பாதுகாப்பு வழங்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
இவரது பெயர் முதலில் பிரேமானந்தா என்று கூறப்பட்டது. ஆனால், தனது பெயர் லெனி்ன் கருப்பன் என்ற நித்யதர்மானந்தா என்று போலீசாரிடம் அவர் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
சேலம் மாவட்டம ஆத்தூரைச் சேர்ந்த இவர் நித்யானந்தாவுக்கு உதவியாளராகவும் டிரைவராகவும் சீடராகவும் இருந்தவர் ஆவார்.
ரஞ்சிதாவுடனான உல்லாசக் காட்சிகள் அடங்கிய வீடியோ வெளியானதையடுத்து இதை லெனின் தான் வெளியிட்டிருக்க வேண்டும் என்று நித்யானந்தா தரப்பு புகார்
இந்த வீடியோவையே ரஞ்சிதா தான் தனது ஏற்பாட்டில் எடுத்ததாகவும் முதலில் கூறப்பட்டது. இது உண்மையா இல்லையா என்பது லெனினை முழுமையாக விசாரித்தால் தான் தெரியவரும்.

Nithyananda
Nakkeeran Nithyananda, Latest News About Updates Nakkeeran, a famous Tamil magazine, has been extensively covering the news of Swami Nithyananda. From yesterday,
Swami Nithyananda video and Nithyananda scandal have become the most searched topic in India on the Internet. On March 3, 2010, Swami Nithyananda, moved civil court in Chennai to restrain TV channels and newspapers from publishing further news about this matter.
The XV Assistant Judge A Manickavasagar of the Chennai city civil court ordered notice and posted the petition for further hearing on March 8, 2010. Nithyananda wants to restrain Sun TV, Dinakaran, Tamil Murasu and Nakkeeran, a popular Tamil magazine from publishing any news on the matter.

Karnataka to probe Swami's activities
BANGALORE: The Karnataka government on Thursday ordered a probe into the land held by spiritual guru Swami Nithyananda Paramahamsa following the revelation of video footage allegedly of him in a compromising position with a Tamil film actor.
"The land at Bidadi in neighbouring Ramanagaram district held by the ashram basically belongs to the government and hence a probe is now necessary," Karnataka home minister V S Acharya said in the legislative assembly. Replying to the opposition demand for the godman's arrest and confiscation of his property, he said: "When it is the government's land, it is ours. How can we confiscate?"
He said the land earlier reserved for cattle grazing had been given to the ashram some years ago. The Ramanagram deputy commissioner has been asked to conduct a detailed probe and submit his report to the government and initiate necessary action, Acharya said. "If there are violations regarding the grant, the government will take steps to get the land back," he added. He, however, assured stringent action against the absconding godman. Acharya said: "We're already in touch with the Tamil Nadu police, who have launched a manhunt for him."
Following a tip-off, he said forest department officials had conducted a raid late Wednesday night and managed to seize 26 kg of sandalwood at the Bidadi ashram. The ashram staff maintained that thieves who had stolen sandalwood trees from the premises had abandoned some logs while escaping, he added. Though there was information that deer and tiger skins were used in the ashram, Acharya said the officials did not find any such things.
Cong seeks ‘details’ of Modi’s meeting with Nityananda
CM had praised tainted swamy while accepting donation for a state-run scheme
Amid reports of alleged amorous adventures of Tamil Nadu-based Swami Nityananda Dhyanapeetam involving some south Indian actresses, the swami has left some memories in Gujarat as well.
Last September, Swami Nityananda was in Vadodara for one of his programmes, where he donated Rs 2.50 lakh to the state government-run Kanya Kelavni (Girl Child) Scheme.
At the congregation held on September 10, at the Navlakhi compound, Swami Nityananda was specially invited to give a discourse,
Accepting the Swami's donation, Chief Minister Narendra Modi,
who paid public obeisance to the swami on the dais, had commented that while the state has been visited by many people, it was the first time that a godman has actually used such a platform and given the state something.

Chennai: The Tamil Nadu police registered a case of cheating against Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda on Thursday, a day after a news channel broadcast clippings of the spiritual guru in a compromising position with a Tamil actress.

“We have filed a case based on a complaint lodged by a few high court advocates. It is alleged that he betrayed the trust of people. We are investigating the matter,” Chennai police commissioner D Rajendran said.
The spiritual guru’s alleged sex video has created a furore in Tamil Nadu and neighbouring Karnataka, with protesters demanding his arrest.
Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi said the government would act against ‘fake swamis’ who cheat people. “Despite similar incidents coming to light earlier, cheats donning saffron robes in the garb of being godmen continue to thrive in society. It is my government’s earnest plea to the citizens not to fall prey to such people,” Karunanidhi said in an official statement.
Nithyananda, who has lakhs of followers worldwide, said the video was a campaign to tarnish his image. He alleged that former inmate Premananda, alias Lenin Karuppan, was behind the campaign.

Hindu swami caught in compromising position on TV
Nithyananda Paramahamsa, who preaches the virtues of yoga, mediation and enlightenment and has a number of "Life Bliss" centres in the United States, was filmed frolicking with a Tamil actres
The guru's public exposure follows the revelation earlier this week that a Delhi-based Hindu "god-man" had been running a multi-million pound vice empire. Rajeev Ranjan Dwivedi has been accused of running an internet-based "flesh trade", police said.
The two cases have highlighted widespread abuse by Hindu holy men in India, where wanted criminals often pose as priests or take holy vows to avoid capture.
It has been alleged that temples have been used as covers for sex rackets and money laundering schemes.
Dwivedi was first arrested for running a massage parlour in 1997. He is believed to have been running a network of call girls throughout northern India.
The revelation of a second popular guru involved in a sex scandal let to protests in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, where student groups and Hindu fundamentalist groups attacked Swami Nithyananda Paramahamsa's followers.
In the footage, Paramahamsa appears reclining on a bed as the actress rubbed her hands over his body. His followers have said the footage is fake and that he is the victim of a plot.
Government officials, however, said they were investigating a series of land transactions by the guru whose wholesome smile and youthful looks have become features of a lucrative brand.
Pavan K Varma, an Indian cultural commentator, said the country's vast demand for spiritual peace is often exploited by "godmen" who "are less than spiritual".
"Everybody is looking for spiritual anchorage and anyone purporting to offer that peace of mind acquires a following but often behind the walls of the ashram they find the swamis have feet of clay and it leads to outrage," he said.

Chennai: A week after a video of a meditation Guru Swami Nithyananda having sex with a Tamil film actor hit the air waves, the swami has gone missing.
The Chennai Police are still searching for Swami Nithyananda and his ashrams are still functioning. The Swami's lawyer says he's gone to Haridwar for his Kumbh Mela programme.
"The Swamiji is in the Kumbh Mela programme as per schedule. We have informed him. Some legal work is going on but soon Swamiji will give interview," says Nithyananda's advocate Sridhar.
But perhaps he is hiding in the Himalayas after Karnataka and Tamil Nadu filed criminal cases against him.
Nithyananda became a self styled spiritual and yoga guru when he was 17 and set up lucrative foundations across the world.
In a country which has seen several scandalous godmen, Swmai Nityanada joined the notorious list a week ago.
The actor who the Swami allegedly exploited sexually has also remained elusive to the media. The police say they are continuing their search and it's matter of time before the godman finds himself behind bars
The issue has gained momentum over the past few days with all sections of the society reacting strongly to it.
Even Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi has asked the media to stop airing the visuals and also warned all the so called "fake monks" against playing with people's emotions.
But amidst all this chaos, the one question everyone is asking: Where is Paramahamsa Swami Nithyananda?
നടി രഞ്ജിതയും ഒളിവില് ? വെള്ളി, മാര്ച്ച് 5, 2010, 17:14
ചെന്നൈ: സ്വാമി നിത്യാനന്ദയോടൊപ്പം ലൈംഗികവിവാദത്തില് അകപ്പെട്ട തെന്നിന്ത്യന് താരം രഞ്ജിതയും ഒളിവില്.
വിവാദ വീഡിയോ പുറത്തായതോടെ സ്വാമി ഒളിവിലാണ് ഇതിന് പിന്നാലെയാണ് നടിയും ഒളിവില്പ്പോയിരിക്കുന്നത്.
തമിഴിലും മലയാളത്തിലുമായി ഒട്ടേറെ ചിത്രങ്ങളില് ഈ താരം അഭിനയിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. മലയാളത്തില് മോഹന്ലാല്, സുരേഷ് ഗോപി, മനോജ്കെ ജയന്, ജയറാം എന്നിവരുടെയെല്ലാം നായികയായി അഭിനയിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.
ഒരു കാലത്ത് ചലച്ചിത്ര രംഗത്ത് സജീവമായിരുന്ന ഇവരെ അടുത്തകാലത്തായി ചിത്രങ്ങളിലൊന്നും കാണാനില്ലായിരുന്നു. ഒരു സൈനികോദ്യോഗസ്ഥനെ വിവാഹം ചെയ്തതോടെയാണ് ഇവര് അഭിനയരംഗം വിട്ടത്.
എന്നാല് പിന്നീട് കുറച്ച് വര്ഷം കഴിഞ്ഞ് തിരിച്ചെത്തി. അവരുടെ വിവാഹബന്ധം തകര്ന്നുവെന്ന് വാര്ത്തകള് പരന്നിരുന്നു.
വീഡിയോ സംപ്രേഷണത്തെത്തുടര്ന്ന് മുങ്ങിയ സ്വാമി ഹരിദ്വാറില് കുംഭമേളയ്ക്കായി പോയിരിക്കുകയാണെന്നാണ് ആശ്രമവൃത്തങ്ങള് പറയുന്നത്. തിരിച്ചെത്തിയാല് ഉടനെ മാധ്യമങ്ങള്ക്ക് മുന്നിലെത്തുമെന്നും ആശ്രമത്തിലെ മറ്റു സ്വാമിമാര് പറയുന്നു.
போலிச் சாமியார் நித்யானந்தாவுக்கு கடும் தண்டனை தரமுடியும்! - வக்கீல்கள் வெள்ளிக்கிழமை, மார்ச் 5, 2010, 18:13[IST]
நித்யானந்தா மீது தமிழகம்
ஆனால் இந்தக் குற்றச்சாட்டுகள் முழுமையாக நிரூபிக்கப்படும் பட்சத்தில் ஆயுள்தண்டனை வரை பெற்றுத் தர முடியும் என வழக்கறிஞர்கள் தெரிவித்துள்ளனர்.
இதுகுறித்து சென்னை உயர்நீதிமன்ற வழக்கறிஞர் அருள்ரமேஷ் கூறுகையில், "இப்போது நித்யானந்தம் மீது 420, 295 பி ஆகிய பிரிவுகளில் வழக்குப் பதிவு செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது. மோசடி, மத உணர்வுகளைப் புண்படுத்தியது போன்ற பிரிவுகள் இவை.
இவை தவிர, அவர் மீது சமூக அமைதியைக் கெடுத்ததற்காகவும் அரசு நேரடியாக நடவடிக்கை
வழக்கறிஞர் சரவணன் கூறுகையில், "சாமியாராக இருப்பவர்கள் இல்லறத்தில் ஈடுபடகூடாது என்று எந்த சட்டமும் கூறிவில்லை. ஒரு மைனர் பெண்ணிடம் அவள் விரும்பியோ, விரும்பாமலோ உறவு கொண்டால் குற்றம்
ஆனால் வயதுக்கு வந்தவர்கள் விரும்பி உறவு வைத்துக் கொண்டால் யாராலும் கேட்க முடியாது. அது அவர்களின் தனிப்பட்ட வாழ்க்கை.
நித்யானந்தா விவகாரத்தில் நடிகை ரஞ்சிதாவுடனான நெருக்கம் ஒருவேளை உண்மையாக இருந்தால் கூட ரஞ்சிதா புகார் செய்யாத பட்சத்தில் சாமியார் மீது நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க முடியாது.
ஆனால் மோசடி, சமூக அமைதியைக் கெடுத்தது போன்ற பிரிவுகளில் தகுந்த ஆதாரங்கள் உள்ளபட்சத்தில் கடுமையான தண்டனை வாங்கித் தரமுடியும்", என்றார்.
வழக்கறிஞர் ராஜேந்திரன் கூறுகையில், "ஊடகங்களின் செய்தி மட்டுமே முழுமையான ஆதாரமாகிவிட முடியாது என்றாலும், குறிப்பிட்ட சம்பவம் உண்மையில் நடந்திருந்தால், அதற்கான ஆதாரங்களுக்கு வலு சேர்க்க ஊடக செய்திகளும் எடுத்துக் கொள்ளப்படும். இதற்கு நிறைய முன் உதாரணங்கள் உள்ளன.
நடந்தது என்ன என்பதை முழுமையாகச் சொல்ல பத்திரிகைகளுக்கு முழு சுதந்திரம் உண்டு. அந்த வகையில் இப்போது வந்துள்ள செய்திகள்
சாட்சிகள் வலுவாக அமைந்தால் நித்யானந்தம் கம்பி எண்ணுவதைத் தவிர்க்கவே முடியாது..", என்றார்

നിത്യാനന്ദയുടെ കാമാശ്രമം വ്യാഴം, മാര്ച്ച് 4, 2010, 15:40
പുണ്യപുരാണ വേദങ്ങളില് പറയും വിധമാണെങ്കില് സന്യാസിവര്യന്മാര് മൂന്ന് ആശ്രമങ്ങള് പിന്നിട്ടാണ് സന്യാസത്തിലെത്തിച്ചേരുന്നത്. ബ്രഹ്മചര്യം, ഗാര്ഹസ്ഥ്യം, വാനപ്രസ്ഥം ജീവിതത്തിലെ മൂന്ന് ഘട്ടങ്ങള് പിന്നിട്ടശേഷമാണ് ഭാരത രാജ്യത്തിലെ ആദരണീയരന്മാരായ മിക്ക മഹര്ഷിവര്യന്മാരും സന്യാസത്തിലെത്തി ചേര്ന്നിരുന്നത്.
എന്നാല് കലികാലത്തെ ഹൈടെക് സന്യാസിമാരെ സംബന്ധിച്ചിടത്തോളം സന്യാസത്തിനൊപ്പം അവര് കാമാശ്രമമെന്നൊരു പുതിയ തലത്തിലേക്ക് കൂടി പ്രവേശിയ്ക്കുകയാണെന്ന് പറയാം. നമ്മുടെ സന്തോഷ് മാധവന് സ്വാമിയും കഴിഞ്ഞ ദിവസം ദില്ലിയില് പിടിയിലായ ശിവ് മൂര്ത്ത് ദ്വിവേദിയും തമിഴകത്തെ ഇളക്കിമറിച്ച നിത്യാനന്ദ സ്വാമിയുമെല്ലാം ഈ ആശ്രമത്തിന്റെ വക്താക്കള് തന്നെ.
എന്നാല് മറ്റു മൂന്ന് ആശ്രമങ്ങളെപ്പോലെ അത്ര നിസ്സാരമല്ല പുതിയ സംഭവം. സ്വാമി നിത്യാനന്ദ വസിയ്ക്കുന്ന ആശ്രമങ്ങള് കാണുന്നവര്ക്ക് അത് ബോധ്യമാകും. ആത്മീയ പ്രഭാഷണങ്ങൡലൂടെ ലക്ഷക്കണക്കിന് ഭക്തരെ സ്വന്തമാക്കിയ സ്വാമി നിത്യാനന്ദ ഇന്ത്യയ്ക്കകത്തും പുറത്തുമായി 33 ആശ്രമങ്ങള് സ്ഥാപിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടത്രേ.
ബാംഗ്ലൂര് നഗരത്തിന് പുറത്ത് ബിഡാദിയില് 25 ഏക്കര് പരന്നുകിടക്കുന്ന ആശ്രമത്തിലെ അന്തേവാസിയും സ്വാമിയുടെ മാധ്യമകാര്യവക്താവുമായ നിത്യ സച്ചിദാനന്ദ പറയുന്നത് ഭൗതിക സുഖങ്ങളും ആത്മീയതയും പരസ്പരം എതിരിട്ട് നില്ക്കുന്നതല്ലെന്നാണ്. 45കാരനായ സച്ചിദാനന്ദ താന് അമേരിക്കയില് ശാസ്ത്രജ്ഞനായിരുന്നുവെന്നും ചിക്കാഗോയില്വെച്ച് നിത്യാനന്ദയുടെ പ്രഭാഷണം കേട്ടതിന് ശേഷം അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ അനുയായി ആയെന്നുമാണ് അവകാശപ്പെടുന്നത്.
ഭൗതികതയും ആത്മീയതയും ഒരേ സമയം പരിശീലിയ്ക്കാനാണ് നിത്യാനന്ദ ധ്യാനപീഠത്തിലുള്ള അന്തേവാസികളെ സ്വാമി നിത്യാനന്ദ പഠിപ്പിച്ചതെന്നും അദ്ദേഹം പറയുന്നു. (അങ്ങനെയാണെങ്കില് സ്വാമി നിത്യാനന്ദയുടെ ചെയ്തികളില് നമുക്ക് കുറ്റം കണ്ടെത്താനാവില്ല. ഭക്തര്ക്ക് സനാതന ധര്മ്മങ്ങള് ചൊല്ലിക്കൊടുക്കുകയും അതേ സമയം കിടപ്പറയില് ഭൗതിക ജീവിതം തേടുകയും ചെയ്തതിലൂടെ തന്റെ സിദ്ധാന്തങ്ങള് സ്വജീവിതത്തിലേക്ക് സ്വാമി പകര്ത്തുകയായിരുന്നു.)
